proud she was of all that he had accomplished.“That’s the kind of thing you work hard for, to giveyour mother something like that,” says Shokouhi.

Today, Resapour also lives in Dallas to be close
to Shokouhi and his 5-year-old daughter, Azara.
Shokouhi and his wife, Alison, were married at a
19th-century French castle on an estate dating
back to the Middle Ages. For the last few years,
Resapour has attended Cowboys games with
Shokouhi, his wife and their daughter.

“I think one of the hardest things to do in life isto find what your passion is,” says Shokouhi. “Mytwo passions are practicing law and being a father.I’ve been fortunate to do both.”

Fujitsu ScanSnap iX100iOS, Android, Windows

$229

I carry this scanner everywhere. In
depositions, when someone introduces
an exhibit, I just scan it right there. It’s
also great for client meetings: The client
hands me his key documents and I scan
them in minutes. It’s also very useful at
trial. If I come across a document that I do
not have loaded in my trial presentation
system, I can scan the doc and import it.

It has the ability to transmit the scan to
your phone, tablet or computer wirelessly,
[or] I plug it into my MacBook Pro’s USB
port and copy the images to our firm’s
hosted document-management system.

LawPayiOS, Android, Windows

$5-$20 per month

It was important for me to accept
credit cards in my practice. First, clients
appreciate having a quick and secure way
to pay, and it’s how consumers are used
to paying these days. Second, most of the
people I know are simply not check writers.

Third, I get paid much faster. There’s a
processing fee, but I’d much rather have a
small percentage taken out and get paid
immediately than keep following up and
waiting around for that “check in the mail.”
I chose LawPay because it's local, ethical—
no fees coming out of your trust account—
and has great customer service.
